With the help of Rick Minerich we put together a super exciting programme, featuring both an advanced track and a track for beginners. Alongside Don Syme the designer and architect of F#, the conference features Tomas Petricek, Phil Trelford, and Miguel de Icaza!

Beginners Track

Having some trouble getting a handle on F# or just functional programming in general? Work through our beginner track and start from the basics. You can be confident that after two days of full time functional immersion you'll have some seriously improved skills. No prior F# experience is required whatsoever.

Meaty Track

Wishing for more meaty F# content? Our advanced track will dive deep into F# features, explore how to solve difficult problems using functional programming, and perhaps even glimpse the nature of functional programming itself. This is a rare opportunity to push yourself and learn deeply about the language you've already come to love.

Excited? Share it!

Don Syme: F# is a powerful open-source language which Microsoft, other companies and the F# community all contribute to. In this talk, Don will discuss how the “F# space” has recently opened up significantly in interesting ways.

F# now includes contributions that range from Cloud IDE platforms, Cloud Compute frameworks, Data interoperability components, Cross-platform execution, Try F#, MonoDevelop, and even Emacs editor integration with surprising tooling support, as well as the Visual F# tools from Microsoft and the broader NuGet package ecosystem.

Don will also talk about some of the latest contributions from Microsoft Research, including new type provider components for F#, and describe how his team work with the Visual F# team and other teams around Microsoft. There will also be demos of some fun new stuff that’s been going on with F# at MSR and the community.

Don Syme is a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Mobile Tools and Microsoft Research, Cambridge. He works with researchers, Microsoft and open source communities to make better programming technologies, and, through that, make people more productive and happier.

In this tutorial, we’ll look under the cover of the F# compiler. We’ll explore how editors and tools can call the F# compiler API to parse and type check F# code.

This session will be useful if you want to integrate F# in your favorite editor or if you want to write service F# snippets http://www.fssnip.net/ We’ll also talk about the key components of the F# compiler and how you would go about extending the F# language itself. Don will give you a developer overview of the compiler and Tomas talk about extending the F# computation syntax with experimental extensions like joinads

Tomas is a computer scientist and open-source developer. He is a Visiting Researcher at the Alan Turing Institute working on tools for open data-driven storytelling. He wrote a popular book called "Real-World Functional Programming" and is a lead developer of several F# open-source libraries.

The F# koans will lead you on the path to F# enlightenment. Come with your laptop, an open mind, and willingness to learn. Leave with a better understanding of F#, functional programming, and test driven development.

If you're new to F#, you'll learn the basics of the language and get your fingers working writing F# code right away. If you're an experienced F# developer, you'll sharpen your skills by solving problems and helping others in their journey towards F# mastery. Based on Edge Case's fantastic Ruby Koans, the F# koans are a set of exercises (in the form of tests) designed to teach you the F# language. By the end of this session, you'll have a better understanding of both the syntax and the culture of F# programming.

In this tutorial, Phil and Rachel will introduce you to the Try F# samples giving you exposure to, and an understanding of, how F# tackles some real-world scenarios.

We'll help you explore, generate, and just play around with code samples, as well as talk you through some of the key principles of F#. By the end of this session, you'll have gone from zero to data science in only a few hours!

Phil is an active member of the software development community, regularly attending and speaking at user groups and conferences, blogging and contributing to open source projects. He is a co-organizer of the London F# User Group and a founding member of the F# Foundation.

Rachel Reese is a long-time software engineer and math geek who can often be found talking to random strangers about the joys of functional programming and F#. She currently handles training & evangelism for Jet.com in the NYC area, and has a habit of starting user groups: so far, in Hoboken, NJ (Pluralsight Study Group), Nashville, TN (@NashFSharp) and Burlington, VT (@VTFun).

Are your Excel Add-Ins difficult to develop, test and deploy? Frustrated with C++, VSTO or VBA based solutions? Or maybe you would simply love to run interactive F# scripts within Excel? Come and learn about FCell Add-In, an integrated F# development platform embedded in Excel.

Using Fmat, an open source F# math library, we will implement simple numerical models in Excel. You will learn how to create Excel User Defined Functions in F# and how to access spreadsheet data in your F# scripts via Excel Type Provider for Named Ranges. Only Excel 2007 or later required.

Mathias Brandewinder has been writing software in C# for about 10 years, and loving every minute of it, except maybe for a few release days. He is an F# MVP, the author of "Machine Learning Projects for .NET Developers" (Apress), enjoys arguing about code and how to make it better, and gets very excited when discussing TDD or F#.

As a passionate – yet pragmatic – enthusiast of multi-paradigm and polyglot engineering, Paulmichael has spent the past 17 years blending a disparate array of languages, technologies, and methodologies to develop compelling solutions to a wide range of business problems. He especially enjoys solving challenges in distributed computing, visual communications, and heterogeneous enterprise systems. Paulmichael is a co-founder of NashF# (the Nashville F# Meetup) and a co-organizer of the New York City F# Users Group.He received Microsoft MVP Awards for his work in the .NET community in 2014, 2105, and 2016. When not at the keyboard, Paulmichael may be found globe-trotting with his wife and son (though his soul is still honky-tonkin' in Nashville, TN).

DUMBO Loft

Built in 1891, during a major period of development when manufacturers were making DUMBO into one of the city’s most important industrial neighbourhoods, the structure contributes to the district through its architecture, structure, and the fact that its owners played a significant role in the area’s history.

Set between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, DUMBO is the heart of the Tech area in NY, dubbed 'Silicon Alley'. The immediate area hosts a range of hip bars and cafes.

The space is a 5 minute walk from the York Street F and High Street A/C.
